Pretty Irish Girls at a Horse Race

GI6IG1 1flSu UITlS dt d nUfS6 mace
a Dublin correspondent of the New
York World writes: 1 went to the horse
show during the afternoon for the pur-
pose OF seeing the people more than the
horses. Throughout the great gather
ing l did not see single sign of poverty
or lack of comfort. 1t was an excep-
tionally handsome, well dressed crowd,
1t was much better-looking gathering
than those saw at the Ascot or the
Derby. The ladies in particular were
much handsomer and dressed with
much better taste. The material of
their dresses was not more expensive.
but the colors were harmonious, and
the dresses we're well made. [ saw
more pretty girls at this horse show in
one day than | have seen in all Eng
land during the last five months. The
Irish girls, as class, have fine, straight,
wlllowy figures, regular features, and
intensely fair compilations. These fair,
delicate compilations, however, break
early, so that the old ladies of Ireland
are quite as ugly and plain as those of
England. 1t was a splenGid-looking
crowd. They appeared very much like
English people in their quiet ways and
matter-of-fact enjoyment of the Jump
ing of the horses, but they spoke much
better English than their English
cousins, and where any brogue was
heard it was so slight as to add
piquancy to the manner of speaking.

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE
A Fifteen-Year-Old Denver Girl
Disappears

Pretty little Stella Burk, who is de-
scribed as being Is years of age, five feet
three inches in height and of plump
figure, with black shining hair, dark
grey eyes, dark lashes and semi-bru-
nette complexion, left her home in the
southern part of the city last Monday
and has not been seen since. The city
detectives have been working on the
case since Tuesday last, but have been
unable to discover any trace of her
whereabouts. They are inclined to the
belief that she is still in the city, and as
her mother received letter from Stella
written here on Thursday there is some
foundation for the belief. They have
made careful search of the city, fol-
lowing the slightest clues, but as yet the
little runaway has not been discovered.
The city officials claim, however, that
she is not an inmate of any of the
houses of questionable character,
whittier some companions may have
entIced her. An inquiry was made at
all of such places, bur the girl has disap-
peared entirely, leaving no trace of her
by her mother. This letter, written
with pencil, and mailed at the city
postoffice at o'clock last Thursday
night, contained only an assurance from
the runaway that she was safe, and
that they need not worry about her.
The letter contained no intimation of
The girls intentions or adventures.
LEFT NO TRAIL.
The girl left her home last Monday
afternoon without stating her destina-
ton. She did not return that night nor
the next day, and on Tuesday evening
Mrs. Burk reported the matter to the
police. A city detective was detailed to
work up the case and expressed conf
dencs in his ability to locate the
WandeTeT. Mrs. Burk wanted to adver-
tise the disappearance of her daughter,
but the city detective advised her not
TO do so, and assured her that he would
find the girl without publicity. Mrs.
Burk determined. to leave the case in
the officers hands, and went home TO
await his success. Three days passed
without tangible clue and on Friday
morning Mrs Burk received the letter
described. She took it to the detective
and he exhausted every means TO run
it down, but failed. Friday and Satur-
day was spent in searching for clues
without success, and last night it was
decided to put two additional officers
on the Gaze and employ Pinkerton
detective to aid in the search. He
also gave Mrs. Brrk permission to give
the matter to the newspapers, and she
gave the Information detailed to NeWS
reporter. The search for the missing
girl was continued last night and will
be closely followed up until she is
found.

HER DISAPPEARANCE A MYSTERY.


Stella, who is a bright, pretty little
girl, was 10 years of age on Thursday
the day she wrote to her mather. She
was attending private school, and had
never manifested an erratic disposition
beyond complaining at times that her
mother would not permit her to go out
in the evening or entertain company.
She appeared satisfied with her home
life and had never been permitted to
form indisCriminate acquain tances. In
going to and fro between her home and
The school she attended she invariably
took the street cars and was accom-
panied by younger brother and sister.
She had no male acquaintance known
to her mother, and her disappearance is
regarded as a mystery at her home.
Her mother, who is deeply distressed at
her daughters conduct, is inclined to
the belief that Stella has taken refuge
with some new friends, and that she was
merely dissatisfied with the restraint
placed upon her. Stella is a girl who
would easily make friends, and Mrs.
Burk thinks that she is in charge of
some of them. Information of any clue
to the girls whereabouts would be
thankfully received by Mrs. Burk, if
sent to police headquarters. When
Stella left home she wore a costume of
tan-colored canvas cloth with red
panels, and a vest of the same hue and
a blue felt hat, trimmed with BIRDS
Ne1Cs.

Some good large transactions have
taken place of late in the Office of Treas
urer Raymond. Recently S641.000 in ter
ritorial bonds were sold, and during the
past few days the territorial officials have
been working early and late adorning
the valuable paper with their signatures.
These bonds have all been signed and
delivered to the purchasers, Keen & Co.
of Chicago, and yesterday Treasurer Ray
mond took in $4,000 of redemption
bonds, for which the cash was paid
There was time when these amounts
could have been known to Dakota as her
own in dreams alone, but now she stands
great, young financial giant, and her
thousands" and hundreds of thousands"
are spoken with the ease and grace of the
commonwealth millionaire that she is.
The papers of Dakota cannot too often
call attention to the splendid financial
standing of the territory; they cannot
boast too loud of tie fact that her credit
is better than seventeen of the states, and
that her wealth is increasing with greater
rapidity than is that of any other state or
territory in the union. These facts should
be sent broadcast over the continent, and
told in every nation beyond the seas, for
they are truths which must win for Da-
kota the greatness, the development and
the recognition which she deserves.

A Right of Way Matter.
Valley City Times.


The trial of the case of Ole j. Moe, VS.
the Northern Pacific railroad, wherein
the father sued for compensation for the
death of his son, alleging that his sons
death was caused by the negligence OF
the railway employees in leaving cars
standing upon the public highway in the
town of Sanborn which frightened the
team driven by the boy, causing them tC
run away resulting in the boys death
was tried in the district court before
Judge Francis on Wednesday. The
Judge directed a verdict for the railway
company on the ground that where the
cars were left standing although street
crossing in the town of Sanborn, a sec
tion line of the county, and declared a
public highway by the county commits
sioners as all other highways in this coun-
ty we're, and public travelled thorough
fare, it still was private property and not
a highway, because when so first declared
the county commissioners did not notify
the railway company and obtain their
consent, or have the ground appraised &c.
The facts appear that the railway COM
pany have always regarded it as a public
highway, have planked and replanked it,
and by their acts in the fullest manner
possible acknowledged it as such. And
although they knew when it was laid out
and dedicated as highway, Just as dis
tinctly and certainly as though thou
sand written notices had been given them,
a boy who performed public duty (worked
on the road lost his life the way mention
ed is pronounced a trespasser and must
take the consequences. .-......
The result of a decision that totally ig-
nores all right of the people to cross the
Northern Pacific railway, on their public
highways only at their peril-is too
monstrous to be permitted to stand I'M
til all hope of reversal is lost in an appeal
to the highest court of the land. If the
judges Interpretation is correct of what
is a highway across the Northern Pacific
railway then there is none in this county,
and it is safe to say-neither is there any
from Duluth to Puget Sound. Although
the law pronounces section line pub
lie highway when so declared by a board
of county commissioners. and the petit
ion applying to name roads opened, when
published, is notice to individuals and
certainly also to corporation -and we
opine the only notice contemplated by
law yet--the interpretation in this case
is that notwithstanding this, we yet have
nopublic highway for distance of 200 feet
on each side of the main track of the rail
way. BY this decision the company may
blockade our streets at every crossing,
with solid line of freight cars, from JAN
uary until December and the public have
no remedy-no recourse for anything un-
less by GROSS negligence in the running
of their trains they happen to seriously
injure or kill some one, and even then we
surmise their liability would depend in
what court the action was brought.

doing excellent work. His swift and ac-
curate throwing redeems his occasional
carelessness and saves him many an err
rori besides winning the plaudits of the
crowd. Mondays game was umpired by
Chas. Burdick, who will be remembered
as the Deering special agent who played
first base with the old Ft. Stewards in a
number of games several years ago. In
the evening there was magnificent dis
play of fireworks. The display was wit
messed by an immense concourse of peo-
ple from the city and surrounding towns.
Fargos celebration was highly satisfac-
tory to her many admiring friends, at
least. Among the jamestown people in
the city were, J. j. White, P. M. Garri-
gan, Col. and Mrs E. S. Miller, Sam Tre-
nary. r. A. Sanford. w. r. Kellogg,
Pierce Blewett, N. Lynch, A. E. Fobes,
w. J. Hopkins, and others.
At LaMo1re the crowd had a big time,
and Hon. W. E. Dodge uncorked the full
amount of Americas patriotism to the
satisfaction of all. .-..-
At Cakes there was an unusually large
crowd, and the only serious accident of
the day seems to have occurred to man
whose name was not be learned. He was
accidentally thrown against moving ma
chine and one of the teeth of the sickle
bar cut deep and dangerous wound in
his head. The man was unconscious all
day Yesterday, and Messenger Geo. Laux
reports his condition very dangerous.
s. gas. IN THE CITY. . .
The day here was left almost entirely
to the energies of the small boy with his
all pervading fire cracker to commemo-
rate the occasion and to keep alive the
traditions OF his ancestors. A picnic by
the Sunday school children of the M. E
church was greatly enjoyed by them, but
on the whole, with SO many being away,
attending other celebrations, James
towns Fourth passed uneventfully. In
the evening the army Of young kids
blossomed 'out tremendously, and their
fire cracker accompaniment grew tremen-
dous. No crowd of half dozen anywhere
was safe from ubiquitous cracker, and
Mr.. Taylor's praying band, while holding
a service on Fifth avenue. was soon made
the object of young Americas fire cracker
attention, so much so that the matter
seemed to have been carried to the extent
of escorting the minister and female
members of the band to the parsonage,
where the racket and firing of crackers
was continued unreasonably and unne-
cessarily, like all crowds are prone to do
when excitement or youthful spirits get
the upper hand. ..
About the usual number of Fourth of
July accidents are reported. None OF
them, however, are serious. Probably
the most painful injury of the day was
that sustained by George Jones. AS he
was turning the corner of the GrandCen-
tral he ran into large cracker, which ex-
ploded in his face, injuring and burning
his eyes and face to slight extent.
A foot race. for small stakes caused
some little excitement the evening of the
Fourth. John Hemmons and Bird Ber-
ry were the contestants. The race was
won by the former.

A Card.

In behalf of the central committee ap-
pointed by the w. G. T. .. to secure the
required number of names of legal voters
to petition praying the county COM
missioners to submit the sale or no sale
of intoxicating liquors in the county to
popular vote this coming fall election
I desire to report for the benefit OF all
who have assisted in the work that our
petition has been accepted and prayer
granted by the honorable board of COM
missioners. The petition had $40 sigma
lures. Sixty-two we're stricken off as
doubtful by the commissioners operating
conformity with the central committee,
leaving the petition with 587 names of.
legal voters OF the county, 512 being the
number required. Other names had come
in since the count which if added would
swell the number of petitioners to nearly
7OO-more than half the present number
of voters in the county. We have every
reason, to hope for victory this fall. Let
us not be diverted by fear or favor from
the straight line of duty, to drive the
monster from our fair plains. The money
consumed by drink the past year in this
county would buy bread and coal for
every home in the county the coming
twelve months. 1 am instructed to return
the hearty thanks of the W. G. T. Q. and
the central committee to all who have
circulated the petition or in any way as
sisted in this our first step towards dellv
erance from the merciless and heartless
saloon, the prolific mother Of hard times
vice and want.
